Conclusions:
The vapour pressure values of the test item for temperatures 20 and 25 °C was calculated by the means of the extrapolated vapour pressure values of the two series:
Vapour pressure at 20 °C: 467.93 Pa
Vapour pressure at 25 °C: 717.15 Pa
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item by using the effusion method (Knudsen cell). According to several publications the boiling point of the test item was stated to be in the range of 145 and 152 °C. Two series of vapour pressure measurement were performed at temperatures between 22 and 27 °C (6 stages). The vapour pressure of the test item was calculated by extrapolation of the measured vapour pressure curve for the temperatures 20 and 25 °C. The vapour pressure was calculated to be 467.93 Pa at 20 °C and 717.15 Pa at 25 °C, respectively.
